The only Bulwark 'twixt them, and their Foes,
To Ramble i'th' Night to see Rare shows;
For ever Good Lord deliver me.

Who has made his Religion a Ridiculous Jest,
And sells all his Friends to buy off the Test,
Yet gives it his Servants from biggest to least;

From a blinking Confessor, as free of his Word,
And as slack in performance as his disciplin'd Lord,
Whose Merits in time may meet with a Cord;

And giving Quack Bills to cure the Pox;
For ever, &c.
Who had hang'd in Hones stead with a handsomer face,
And the Joiner had gain'd the Counsellours place,
If to impeach first he had had but the Grace;
For ever, &c.

From a Nation, which now in so woful a case is,
To be call'd by Church Cheats, and Jesuitical Clashes,
Who their Politicks learn from whipping boys A---

Who their Politicks learn from whipping boys A---
For ever, &c.
